Kary Mullis, bilim adamlarinin ne yaptiklari uzerine

Biyokimyager  Kary Mullis modern bilimin temelleri hakkinda konusuyor: deney. 17. yuzyildan ve kendisinin arkabahce-fuze gunlerinden alinti hikayeleri paylasarak Mullis, kaliteli bilimin tum bicimlerindeki meraki, ilhami ve titizligi kutluyor. 

The foundation of modern science was laid just 350 years ago, when experiments and visible results replaced debates about philosophy or theology. A story about 17th-century scientists risking controversy by creating vacuums—killing birds in bell jars—illustrates how demonstration became more important than authority. This shift unleashed technology that would have made kings go to war for a GPS. Not all scientists are driven by curiosity, and public debates, like those on climate, can ignore inconvenient evidence.
